Alloc Laminate Flooring-A Strong, Beautiful Flooring Choice

By: Alphonso Sirtle.


Alloc laminate flooring is one of the many choices you have for flooring material. This particular brand of laminate flooring is available in eleven color choices ranging from a light bamboo to a darker rosewood hue. Each piece of Alloc laminate flooring is 7.23" X 47.25" and is .28" thick. Eight boards are in each carton, which will cover 19.22 square feet. You will find the construction of this laminate flooring durable and easy to install and clean.

The laminate flooring by Alloc has a core made of high-density fiber core. This helps Alloc laminate flooring remain durable under heavy pressure. The surface of the planks is made of melamine, which is durable in high traffic areas. The edges of the planks are suffused with wax to make them resistant to moisture. Each plank is then locked tightly into place with Alloc's patented system.

Installing Alloc laminate flooring is easy and convenient. The planks snap into place with their tongue and groove style locking system so that no glue is necessary. This patented system has a built in alignment feature to make installation a cinch. Since there is no glue to have to dry, you can walk on the floor and move furniture onto it as soon as it is installed. This can be a do-it-yourself project, or the dealer can provide installation.

Cleaning Alloc laminate flooring is easy, also. It only needs vacuuming or sweeping every so often. If needed, it can be cleaned with Alloc's special cleaner called Alloc Free and Clean. Polishes and cleaners should not be used on Alloc laminate floors since their residues can harm the surface. If a stain occurs, you can use acetone or denatured alcohol to blot it up with a clean cloth. To avoid scratches, do not use plastic or steel wool scouring pads.

Since it is resistant to stains, dents, and scratches, Alloc laminate flooring is a good choice for any room in the home. However, this flooring should not be used on a floor that will be wet a great deal of time, such as those with a drain in the floor. Pets whose nails are clipped regularly will not scratch the surface. Alloc does suggest placing doormats at entryways and floor protectors under the legs of furniture to give further protection in high use or high-pressure areas.

You can find Alloc laminate flooring with many retailers in the U.S and Canada. To find a dealer near you, you can use the dealer locator feature on Alloc's website at www.alloc.com.

Alloc offers a 25-year warranty, which covers the joints of the locking system for up to 5 times of removal and reinstallation. It also covers the surface's ability to resist stains, fading, wear, and water from normal spills that are cleaned up immediately. The warranty is non-transferable, so if you sell the house you may want to consider taking up the flooring if you can use it in your new home.
